Autofiction: noun. a genre of novel or short story whose narrator or protagonist is understood to be the author, and which explores the author's real-life story using the techniques and devices of fiction.
If you are interested in writing autofiction or exploring the line between memoir and fiction in your own work, I am teaching a popular online class this summer through the Writers Grotto.

Is it true or is it fiction – and does it matter? Often the lines between memoir and fiction can be blurry. And most of great literature has at least some elements of truth in it, from books that are largely autobiographical like Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, and Chris Kraus’s Aliens and Anorexia to fictional worlds like Raymond Carver’s and Denis Johnson’s that are drawn from a world that could only be created through personal experience. Lately the term autofiction has been used to describe works like Ocean Vuong, Marguerite Duras, Teju Cole and Annie Ernaux. Since Ernaux won the Nobel Prize in literature in 2022, the genre has been getting even more buzz. in In this class we will talk about the debate over autofiction versus memoir. We will explore memories, experiences, and characters from our own lives and turn them into fictional stories, blending the richness of our emotional and felt experiences with elements from our imagination to create compelling writing.
